Speaker Spotlight: Allison Suttle (Vanderbilt Health) - Unprofessional Behavior as a Risk to Patient Safety

Allison Suttle (OB/GYN + faculty at the Vanderbilt Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy) is joining the upcoming RLDatix Summit to talk about something our community cares deeply about: using data to understand and address unprofessional behavior as a patient safety risk.

In her spotlight, she frames data as “the new currency of healthcare” and calls RLDatix a “treasure trove” for identifying patterns where clinicians/care team members may not be “their best selves.”

She also shares how their team combines RLDatix + other sources into a categorized “library,” creating usable data points that enable benchmarking and more actionable insights back to individuals.



What’s one “signal vs noise” pain point you’re facing right now when it comes to behavior, culture, and patient safety (e.g., inconsistent categorization, too many low-detail reports, limited trend visibility)?

What have you tried already to make the data more actionable (taxonomies, dashboards, review workflows, leader coaching, etc.), and what’s still not working?

If you could ask Allison one question before her session, what would it be?
